SET-UP & DELIVERY GUIDELINES Getting Ready For Delivery & Set-up Of Your New Spa Surface And Pad Requirements • Your new portable spa must be placed on a uniformly firm, flat, and level surface. A concrete pad 3 inches thick is best. • If your spa is located near sprinklers, adjust or cap them so they do not hit the siding of the spa. Balconies And Deck Requirements • Decking must be constructed to support 85 pounds per square foot. • Balconies must be constructed to meet current state and local codes.
SET-UP & DELIVERY GUIDELINES (CONT.) Getting Ready For Delivery & Set-up Of Your New Spa Electrical Requirements • Your 220 Volt spa pack will require a 50 amp dedicated GFCI, load neutral, circuit breaker. • Extension cords are not to be used in conjunction with operation of the spa. Low voltage damage could result, which is not covered by warranty. • If you have any doubts, have your electrical system checked by a licensed electrician.
WIRING DIAGRAM Wiring Requirements • The bonding wire at least No. 8 AWG copper wire. • Pull Copper current carrying conductors (one each: black, red, white, green), Use either No. 6 AWG 60º C, 8 AWG 75º C, or No. 8 AWG 90º C wire, if spa is 50 feet or less away from its power supply. Note: the ground must be equal to or larger than the largest power conductor. Factory Recommended G.F.C.I.
GENERAL PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Priming Pump For Electric Packs The Power pack system is located under the skirting. The equipment can be serviced by simply removing the door. The door is located on the side of the spa where three panels are located, usually on the side of the spa with the lounger, or the side where the topside control panel is located. It is important to make sure that all of the air is out of the pump(s) before operating.
AIR CONTROLS & DIVERTER VALVES Air Control Each spa is equipped with air controls (venturies). The purpose of these controls is to regulate the mixture of air and water that flows through the jets. If an optional blower is installed, air is also pushed through the air controls (venturies) for maximum output. If your spa has a master massage jet located in the foot well, the spa will be equipped with an air control specifically for the master massage jet. This third control operates the same as the others.
OTHER GENERAL CONTROLS Individual Jet Operation Individual jets can be turned on and off.This is done by simply turning the outer jet housing.Turning clockwise will turn the jet on, and turning counterclockwise will turn the jet off. Individual jet control can be done independently from normal diverter valve settings. Fountain Control If your spa is equipped with optional fountain jets, they are controlled with a Fountain Jet Control.
FILTER LOCATION Dual Filter Location Single Filter Location NOTE! Note: Filter style and location will vary by model 14 Dynasty Spas Operator’s Guide • www.dynastyspas.
FILTER MAINTENANCE Filtration starts as soon as water flow is steady through the filter. The filter cartridge removes body oil and debris from the spa water, as they can cause flow resistance. A dirty cartridge will decrease flow and may prevent the spa from heating properly. Therefore, regular filter cleaning is essential. Cleaning and Replacing Filter Cartridge Your Dynasty Spa filter(s) have been designed for quick and easy maintenance.
KEEPING YOUR SPA WATER CLEAN & FRESH Cleaning Your Spa Water You need to keep your spa clean and ready to use. When you enter your spa, you bring in as much contamination as 50 people would in a normal size swimming pool! Because your spa is such a small, enclosed environment, it needs to be a sanitary place.
KEEPING YOUR SPA WATER CLEAN & FRESH Once the spa has been filled to the correct level and pumps are primed and running add: 1) STAIN & SCALE REMOVER- This prevents staining, rust and corrosion, caused by metals in the source water. One bottle will treat up to 500 gallons for up to 3 months. 2) CALCIUM BOOSTER (If Needed) - Calcium booster treats the water if low calcium hardness is a problem in your area.
KEEPING YOUR SPA WATER CLEAN & FRESH (An Overview) Monthly - For Equipment Protection CALCIUM BOOSTER (If Needed) - Calcium booster treats the water if low calcium hardness is a problem in your area. It will help prevent equipment corrosion and foaming by raising the spa's water hardness level to an acceptable range of 120 ppm. Filter Cleaning Keep your filter free of grease, grime, and oil. Clean the filter with SPA CARTRIDGE FILTER CLEAN. One 16 oz. bottle treats a 55 square foot filter.
KEEPING YOUR SPA WATER CLEAN & FRESH Mineral Protection STAIN & SCALE REMOVER - This prevents staining, rust and corrosion, caused by metals in the source water. One bottle will treat up to 500 gallons for up to 3 months. Foam Control To control foaming, use SPA FOAM DOWN. For added convenience, use just 3 drops of SPA FOAM DOWN CONCENTRATE. Skin Conditioning To prevent dry skin, pour SKIN SOFTENER directly into the spa. It soothes and moisturizes.
DRAINING YOUR SPA Because your spa holds a relatively small amount of water, contaminant's such as body oil, perspiration, dirt, hair, etc., may become quite concentrated. For this reason, the water should be drained and replaced every three months depending on use. • Turn off power at the breaker. • Hook up a garden hose to the hose bib located on the exterior corner of the cabinet. With hose still attached to bib, turn counter-clockwise one half turn and then pull out for water to drain completely.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA WARNING! In areas of the country where the temperatures drop below 32° F, it is important to follow these directions: When winterizing the spa, we recommend putting RV Antifreeze in the spa and running it before draining the spa. 1) If the spa is not going to be used, drain completely. Be sure all water is removed. Break or loosen unions at each end of pump to ensure water from pump area is removed. Remove pump freeze plugs if so equipped.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA COVER Proper Maintenance For Your Dynasty Spa Cover 1) Use a soft broom to remove accumulation after every snowfall or ice storm. 2) Splash cool tap water on the hardware to free them if they become frozen shut. WD-40™ will keep the lock free, but apply carefully because it can damage the cabinet finish. 3) We recommend a good treatment with Vinyl Conditioner before the first snow or ice. If possible, treat during the winter too. 4) Monitor your water chemistry.
